By exploiting the latest satellite communications and GSM technology, Minerva has genuine ‘go anywhere’ global capability, meaning that collaborative training exercises can take place across several worldwide locations at the same time – without the need for any fixed, ground-based infrastructure.

A typical training scenario can involve a combination of UAVs, attack helicopters, long range artillery, rocket launchers and tactical precision weapons, plus forward observers and troops on the ground feeding information back to a central Exercise Control unit.

Training personnel to get the best out of these complex weapons systems and achieve mission success – against a similarly-equipped enemy – is a growing challenge for today’s military trainers, especially when set against the background of budgetary constraints, restrictions on live-firing and UAV operations.
